[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this even normal or healthy developmentally? For a teenager to have a carefully curated spike or narrative that’s the product of an expensive college counselor’s hame plan? Aren’t teenagers supposed to be trying different things and aren’t they just beginning to figure out what they like? I understand that a few scattered unrelated activities, a typical retail or food service job and maybe a couple awards won’t cut it for T-20’s in 2025, but what is all this doing to our kids? [/quote] This is all an effort to keep moving the goalposts so they can keep using holistic standards. You can pay to get your name on a published article You can pay to get your name attached to a non-profit. You can pay to participate in an archeological dig in the Andes mountains. In the end almost all holistic things other than genuine socioeconomic disparity can be gamed much more and much easier than test scores and AP scores.[/quote]
